My name is Henry John, I am 60 years old from Church of The Holy Name of Mary Permatang Tinggi.

I’m involved in the parish Caritas team.

Right after work I spend the rest of my day visiting the sick, poor and people in need to know more about them and find out the help they need as well as collecting their details.

I usually start a normal conversation with them to make them feel comfortable first, and then tell the story of Jesus and His love for poor and sick.

I do this as a way to bring God’s message to people who don’t know Him.

I use to bring my family together for visiting since they were young, so now we move as a family as much as we can, and they also reach out to people in need on their own way.

I pray for the family to not lose their hope and also for the Caritas team to be always able to help the poor and sick people.

One of my unforgettable visit was my visit to a house of 2 brothers of 37 years old and another one is 35 years old where one of them was naked, i quickly find a shirt and clothed him, he is a mentally challenged man.

I remembered the story of Jesus, “I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.”

Sometimes i bring along my friends to see how else we can help people apart from just giving money. Start visiting and talking to people in need, along with contributing money for charity – visiting and spending time with them will make them feel better, we give them hope by doing this and we bring God’s message to them.
